Muslim Bashing : Not For Nothing

Five Muslim young men of Northern Virginia suddenly disappeared from their homes in the United States and surfaced in Lahore in Pakistan. On a tip off of their possible link with a terror group, Jaish e Mohammed, the Pakistan police arrested them from the house of another man who is suspected of having links with terrorists.

One of the five had called home last week but the conversation ended abruptly. That made the family suspicious and they approached the police. The American police flashed the information details about the missing persons to the Pakistan police who raided a house in Lahore to unearth suspicious goings on. In the process the five Muslim Americans were also nabbed. Now the interrogations are going on and further details will be available thereafter.

Many Muslim families in America, UK and even in India say in whispers that they are suspects in cases of terror acts, irrespective of fact whether they are involved or not. Let us examine why the Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jewish people and others suspect the involvement of Muslim families in the neighbourhood of either promoting acts of terror or showing sympathy, both active and passive, helping terror outfits with money and even providing shelter.

In every terrorist attack in India, it came to light that local Muslim families had provided help to the Pakistan terrorists operating in India. It is a fact that without local support no Islamist terrorist would be able to move around, find food and shelter and operate in such a manner as if he had recnnoitered the area many times over.

Pray, who helps a terrorist from Pakistan to operate freely in India. The answer is : Some Indian Muslim families who are not loyal to the country that sustains them. They are traitors. If traitors are looked down upon, who is to blame? Not the citizenry that looks down upon the traitors but the the traitors themselves. If the traitors are Muslims by faith, the police or the public cannot say that they are Christians, Jewish. Is it not true that all terrorists are Muslims?

So, in their case Islam does not mean Peace. Of course, all Muslims may not be terrorists but many sympathise with the terrorists and the philosophy of terror. Is it not dangerous for the Humanity as such? Please ponder over and ask your inner conscience for a reply.

It is true that in every country there are moderate Muslims but it is also true that the moderate Muslims do not exert themselves and accept the overlordship of aggressive and militant brand of Muslims.

Islam means Peace. Look into the history of the Islamic movements and a student would find maximum number of wars and bloodshed caused by votaries of peace. Why is it so?

Right from the beginning , there was a sense of insecurity among the Muslims. There were civil wars among the members of the community. The greatest Divide in the followers of the faith came when the battles were fought between the followers of the Prophet's grandson and that of the Caliph. The former were known as Shiites and the latter as Sunnis. The endless strife and bloodshed between the two majoe sects are known to every student of history. Moral of the story is that violence and bloodshed are a way of life among votaries of Islam.

It may be for self defence or it may be for offence which some describe as the best form of defence.

The story is continuing. Only actors have changed. The Islamist terrorists are convinced that they kill others in the name of Allah.

So, if the larger community suspect the Muslims in the neighbourhood of harbouring ill will towards the country that sustains them, who will be blamed?

Pray, do not call it Muslim bashing. The community is taking only preventive and defensive measures to prevent a recurrence of 9/11 in New York or 26/7 in Mumbai, India.

Where do we go from here? We go towards Peace and Progress in which all citizens have to contribute their share of money and effort. Let
the swords be sheathed and let the words of brotherhood be heard. In the Vedic Thought the world is conceived of as a family. Let us live that dream and say "VASUDHAIV KUTUMBAKAM". The people of the world form a family - a Global Family.

Islam Kills

Australians celebrate and revere Anzac Day on April 25th each year in remembrance of our brave soldiers who fought in two great world wars to secure our freedom. Every Australian identifies with the slogan “lest we forget” and in services held around the country people reflect on the battles and men who died to secure our freedom. Yet across the world in France, there is one remarkable battle which helped form the Europe we know today and allowed the development of civilization based on Judeo Christian principles. This one famous battle has become known as the battle of Tours and effectively stopped the Muslim advance into Europe. After the death of Mohammed in 632AD, Muslim armies exploded out of the Arabian peninsula to conquer much of the Middle East, expanding across north Africa. From there they crossed into Spain in 711AD and eventually controlled much of al-Andalus by 715AD. It was the victory at Tours by Charles Martel that stemmed the tide and eventually the Muslim marauders were expelled from Spain in 1492 when the last outpost at Granada fell to King Ferdinand of Spain.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born, lived, fought and won battles against religious and social oppression in the 17th century Bharat or India. He was a shining star in the Indian firmament and is renowned as a champion of the downtrodden and depressed masses. He was and continues to be an icon for the classes and masses alike and is seen as a rallying point for peasants oppressed by foreign rulers, Pathans and Moghuls alike. Sexually exploited women found in Shivaji Raje a protector, a benefactor and flocked to his Hindavi Swaraj to find solace and feel liberated under his saffron flag.

Perhaps some readers might be interested to know that January 28 is considered a feast day among Catholics – actually 2 feast days are celebrated on the same day – one is of ST Thomas Aquinas, the great medieval theologian and philosopher who adapted Aristotle to the western Judeo-Christian worldview. . It is also the feast day of a lesser known person – St Peter Nolasco, the great ransomer of captives from the Muslims.

The dramatic rescue of the American cargo-ship captain Richard Phillips from the hands of Somalian Islamic pirates by the U.S. Navy—killing three pirates, holding him hostage at gun-point, through precision-targeting—warrants a review of the U.S. struggle with piracy and hostage-taking in North Africa, which ended two centuries ago.

Raiding trade-caravans and hostage-taking for extracting ransom in Islam was started by Prophet Muhammad. Having become powerful and secure after his relocation to Medina from Mecca in 622, Muhammad initiated Jihad or holy war in the form of raids of trade-caravans for earning livelihood for his community. In the first successful raid of a Meccan caravan at Nakhla in December 623, his brigands killed one of the attendants, took two of them captive, and acquired the caravan as “sacred” booty. The captives were ransomed to generate further revenue. Muhammad, later on, expanded this mode of Jihad to raiding non-Muslim communities around Arabia—for capturing their homes, properties and livestock, capturing their women and children as slaves often for ransoming and selling, and imposing extortional taxes—which sometimes involved mass-slaughter of the attacked victims.

On January 1, 1915 two Broken Hill men, both former camel drivers, armed themselves with rifles, an homemade flag bearing Islamic insignia and a large supply of ammunition and launched a surprise attack on the Picnic Train about 3 kilometres outside Broken Hill.

The train carried about 1200 Broken Hill residents to Silverton where a picnic to celebrate the new year was to take place.

The two Muslim men, Gool Mohamed originally a Pashtun tribesman from Afghanistan and Mullah Abdullah from what is known today as Pakistan, decided to wage jihad against Australian infidels after Australia and the Ottoman Empire officially joined the opposite sides in the WWI.

How often in conversation with a Muslim, do they quote Spain as the crowning achievement of Islam, where Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in harmony for about 800 years?

And when you mention the killings and massacres, you are told that the Spanish Inquisition was much worse.
This is a misconception, since the Inquisition in Spain was responsible for only between 4,000 and 5,000 lives. [1]

Yet in 1066AD, in a single day, muslims murdered over 4,000 Jews because Vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela had risen to a position greater than them, and of course, this upset the Muslim sensitivities. [2]

Why are you a Muslim?
Musli ms in general love to hear the above question because it has a simple and readymade answer in their minds besides it gives them the opp or t u nity to propagate their religion and talk proudly about Islam.

At this time of year, it is timely to remember one of the greatest victories of the west against the Islamic world. On the 7th October in 1571, Don Juan and the Holy League, led by Admiral Doria, defeated the larger Ottoman fleet in the Battle of Lepanto, saving Europe from the Turks and militant Islam. The Holy League was a coalition of different armies - of the Republic of Venice, the Papacy (under Pope Pius V), Spain (including Naples, Sicily and Sardinia), the Republic of Genoa, the Duchy of Savoy, the Knights Hospitaller and some others.

When Mohamed and his faithful followers moved from Mecca to Medina, they found themselves among three Jewish tribes/clans (BANU-L-NADIR, BANU KAINUKA and BANU KURAIZA) which settled there some time after their expulsion from their homeland and also living there were two Arab, pagan tribes.

Mohammed, who at this stage needed more followers, decided to win those tribes over and convert them to his newly invented religion.

Islam was yet not as fully developed as we know it today, and Mohammed was still having his sessions with Allah (the Medina period revelations).

Did Prophet Muhammad order Killing Surrendered Jews of Banu Quraiza and Khaybar? A historical Analysis!

In the post 9/11 era of this modern-world, Islamists around the globe are busy with ‘damage control utopia’ in order to correct the image of religion Islam. We all know that the nucleus of Islam are: Quran, Hadiths (Sunnah) supported by Islamic histories and biographies recorded by various famous Islamic scholars and historians.

A great tragedy of the Islamic control of our universities and political correctness plus the fear of extreme violence if anyone dares question the roots and claims of Islam is ...that nobody dares question the roots and claims of Islam!!! I want to stimulate interest and offer this summary of information on Mecca from (LINK) which discusses some problems with Muslim claims in a comparison of evidence supporting Islam/Christianity.

There is a very strongly entrenched view among majority of Westerners today that the three main monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam share one common God and therefore despite the obvious differences, the core foundation of these three religions is the same.
